1. Name your favorite magical creature, and describe why it is your favorite.My favorite magical creature is the hippogriff, because I once got to take care of Buckbeak's son, Broadwings. He has lovely greenish-yellow eyes.

2. Tell us your favorite charm, spell or curse, and explain why you like it.Favorite charm? Locomotor - it's helpful in moving big things around. Well I do like jinxes, too, if someone has (ahem) really crossed the line. But honestly, that wasn't mine that made that toilet explode when Rufus was using it. Or the langlock when he attempted to speak with Tia.

3. Describe your favorite holiday family tradition - which holiday and what makes it special.Funny hats for Thanksgiving. Everyone wears one during dinner.

It's time to plot a bit of deviousness, or mischief, or plain old trickeration to get back that weaselly little badger Rufus Hufindor. I'm pondering an apparation to Diagon Alley for a little ... wheeze.

I've finally just posted the Gryffindor assignment and it was late. Late due to that Rufus Hufindor character who managed to replace a teacup of my own with a nose-biting teacup probably purchased over the weekend at Zonko's in Hogsmeade. I'm sure it was a not-very-well timed prank in order to disable me for the upcoming Quidditch match. Madam Pomfrey fixed me a not very good tasting brew to heal my nose. I'll have to return for the bite I received on my leg (not quite sure how that cup made it down there before I caught it). I fear some retribution may be in order.

Back from my Hogwarts outing. Saw a few students there posting Owls, and heading to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer and relaxing. I am rather disappointed that Lavender Ackerlywasn't allowed to accompany us into town. I picked up a few sweets at Honeydukes (Chocolate Frogs for me, and some of Mr. Flume's fudge as a present for Lava), a new quill (red tail hawk) at Scrivenshaft's, and stopped for a nice cuppa at Puddifoot's. Where I saw a certain Luscious... Professor all cozied up with a student. But I'm not telling who.
